Nepal Television (Nepali: नेपाल टेलिभिजन)[1] is the oldest and most watched television channel in Nepal.

The News (broadcast at 8:00 p.m.) is the channel's most popular show, followed by comedy program Bhadragol, Meri Bassai and Jire Khursani.

Private channels include AP1 TV, Kantipur Television, Image Channel, Channel Nepal, Avenues TV, Nepal 1 Television and Sagarmatha Television. Nepal 1 Television is broadcast from India.

Several attempts are being made by media stakeholders to convert and transform NTV into a truly Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) entity. NTV, being currently owned by the government, has lost its editorial independence and is blamed for continuously being a government mouthpiece. As the country's only largest and oldest television channel, a need for transforming its operation into the hands of the public is realized by media experts in Nepal.
